The City of Princeton was named the 15th out of the top 100 cities to live in the United States by Money magazine and it is easy to see why when you walk down the cobblestone paths in the center of town. Of course, it may have something to do with Princeton University, one of the most prominent educational facilities in the world. 

Many of the counselors in Princeton actually graduated from the esteemed campus and, whether from Princeton or not, the finest therapists and counselors in the world are based here. If you or someone you know is having some kind of mental health issue, reach out for help right away.

I am a PhD in Counseling and Supervision, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) from New Jersey with experience as a mental health and substance use counselor. I have collaborated with clients on concerns ranging from relationships, career challenges, excessive worriment and anxiety, substance use, and life transitions. My counseling style is nurturing and collaborative. I treat those who are in need by giving respect and providing dignity to sensitive concerns. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused interventions, as well as a strength-based approach. Each plan is individualized to meet one's current needs and goals. I am inspired by the courage it takes to seek help. Change happens to all. Yet, we can lead more full lives when we have support during these periods of change and transition. Be well and looking forward to collaborating with you.

I specialize in therapy covering issues such as: anxiety depression relationships polyamory/non-monogamy/open marriages confidence gender-related issues parenting habits PTSD/trauma anger management and more. The therapy models I use, which you may have heard of, are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment styles, and positive psychology. I also use principles from solutions-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I advocate for and work with the LGBTQ+ community. I am also an advocate of properly used plant medicines such as MDMA, cannabis, and psilocybin. You can expect that we will work together to address the concerns that bring you to therapy. We will look at your innate strengths (because everyone has them) as well as other tools you may want to add. On a personal note, I was born and raised in Utah. I made my way out to New Jersey in 1999, where I received my university education, started a family and have been living ever since. I've been through a divorce as well. My personal interests include vegetarianism, rock climbing, backpacking, yoga, and exploring the good eats of the area! Looking forward to meeting you and working together!

My approach to therapy offers guidance in your journey of rediscovering your unconditional love for yourself and your world. I help you have compassion for challenging feelings by acknowledging how these feelings are separate from our inner spirit and therefore don’t define our self worth. It becomes easier to accept these feelings by also acknowledging that they have a purpose of self protection and therefore come from a place of love. Acceptance of feelings allows us to return to nurturing our bodies through somatic practices and reach a state of joy in the present moment for our blessings. I hope I can reignite the light that is already in you so it can shine brighter for yourself and for your world. My undergraduate degree/masters degree are from Boston College. I have had clients as young as two and as old as 87! I’ve worked with all ages in outpatient. My focus was children/families in partial hospitalization and in-home. I’ve primarily supported those finding challenge with anxiety, sadness and anger. I am passionate how physical health intertwines with mental health. Therefore I nourish my body with plants and move every day! I have found joy as a boxing instructor and runner. I hope to expose myself to more cultures through travel. I studied abroad in Ecuador and participated in service trips to El Salvador, Mississippi, New Orleans, and the Appalachian region. I live a spiritual life with the belief that we and all “things” are connected by a shared energy of love. Some of my blessings include my parents, sister, brother-in-law, and four-year-old nephew. “You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down.”

My name is Flora Pazos, and I have been a mental health practitioner for over 40 years. I am fluent in English as well as Spanish and I pride myself in helping those in need. I have experience in individual therapy, couples and family therapy, and a wide range of adult and pediatric issues.

My therapeutic style is goal-oriented and individualized to the needs of each client.

I teach clients strategies and techniques to reinforce their inner strengths as well as to better cope with their current situations/issues. After each session, you will not only gain the tools to carefully examine each life decision but a much-needed serenity that will help you through the process.
